To be eligible for Tumblr Labs, you must be a current Tumblr user, have Web dashboard access and be a “thrill liker” according to the company. It is important to note, however, that Tumblr Labs are experimental features developed in someone’s spare time. This means that the experiments aren’t guaranteed to work. What’s more, experiments can abruptly cease functioning or disappear altogether. To disable a Tumblr Labs experiment, users must turn the Labs switch off.
